About Kristina
Dr. Kristina Thompson is an MS LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 13 years of clinical experience as a counselor. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, and substance concerns among other issues. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She favors practical, talk-based sessions that identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thinking patterns and try different responses. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on what matters to the client.
Dr. Thompson incorporates EMDR for clients who report trauma and uses Motivational Interviewing when people want to change behaviors such as substance use. Narrative Therapy is part of her approach when a person wants to reframe how they tell their own story. She chooses methods that fit the issue and the person's goals rather than applying a single technique.
Her background includes work across many clinical settings and a range of presenting problems. She has experience addressing adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, autism spectrum challenges, codependency, blended family matters, and caregiver stress. This has shaped a practical style focused on clear steps and doable strategies.
People who come to see her can expect concrete ideas to try between sessions. She encourages small, measurable changes and regular review of what helps. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Thompson often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to help people notice patterns of thinking and test small behavioral experiments. CBT sessions online typically involve setting clear goals, assigning brief exercises to try between meetings, and reviewing what changed.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy in remote sessions by keeping the conversation focused on the client's priorities and reflecting back what is important. For trauma-focused cases she may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which involves specific processing techniques that can be adapted to a virtual format when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is tracked and new challenges come up.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - you can schedule meetings around work, school, and caregiving. Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know which options are provided. Online work can make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to practice new skills in everyday settings.
